July's City Daily Photo blog theme day is "GREEN!" We built a small garden up against our neighbors' fence in our backyard in memory of three special people who recently died. Jeff, 56, was our kind neighbor across the street; Rhonda, 51, was a cheerful friend at church; and Tetsuo, 95, was my gracious homestay host and English student in Gero, Japan back in 1990. We remember them today and into the future!

cute garden but sad story nevertheless
What a nice way to preserve the memory of friends!
That's a lovely thing to do Leif, so sad and so young for two of your friends. I feel that garden will grow well on all that love.
Very moving remembrance. Not what I expected when I first saw your thumbnail.
It's a wonderful little memorial garden built with love and respect. Such kindness from you and your family. I also like the curved border... really adds a nice touch!
BTW, I'm green with envy. I would do anything to have a yard the size of your neighbor's and yours too probably. Just imagine the garden I can have!
Bonne journee et bonne fete du Canada!
What a fabulous idea! Never heard or saw a similar memorial for friends. You have been blessed with solid friendships and respect and honour your friendships.
Wonderful tribute and memorial to celebrate a green theme.
En France, l'expression "toujours vert" se dit d'une personne âgée qui a gardé une très bonne santé.
Donc.
In France, the term "toujours vert (ever green)" means a senior who has kept a very good health.
So.
What a nice way to remember and honor your friends.
Have a wonderful start of the new month Leif.
That is so nice to have an area like that to remember loved/cherished ones.
What a wonderful way to remember those special friends.
The best kind of green, to remember your friend.
Lovely post!
Bon weekend de l'indépendance !
What a lovely way to remember your dear friends!
That's very thoughtful, and a nice way to remember people.
Feels as if their memories and presence will continue to grow.
Please have you all a good new month.

A lovely way to honor your friends.
I agree, that's a lovely tribute.
It's sad to hear that two of your friends were relatively young.
Happy 4th to you, Leif!
Sad and thoughtful ...
Have a blessed weekend !
What a wonderful thing to do! I may need to borrow that idea!
Great idea. It's nice to remember, to do something positive and beautiful.
Great idea about a sad thing, and a good theme post too.

This is lovely, not only because it's pretty but also for what it means.
